Tips:
- Use a clear glass pan: This will allow you to see the beautiful stained glass effect of the Jello cake.
- Chill the cake thoroughly before cutting: This will help to prevent the Jello from sticking to the knife and will give you clean, sharp slices.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the cake: A dull knife will tear the Jello and ruin the stained glass effect.
- Serve the cake cold: Jello cake is best served cold, so be sure to chill it for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Garnish the cake with fresh fruit or whipped cream: This will add a touch of elegance and flavor to the cake.
